We were lucky enough to see many whales breaching and fin and fluke slapping, and we saw a mother and calf very close - we felt so lucky and will never forget the experience.

Wonderful experience diving with sunreef (with my unidive group) at the Ex-HMAS Brisbane this weekend. Big thanks to everyone who helped, wonderful skipper (I believe Annette), and especially to my guide Mark - an eye for octopus and a calm, friendly, supporting guide who made it an easy, stress-free, fun dive. Always grateful for guides who accommodate new divers with patience and encouragement. ...

Amazing!! Took a trip on Whale One, and we followed a couple of whales on their adventures for a few hours. The entire experience was made better by the positivity of the crew (special mention to Heidi and Sarah on the mic!) who seemed more excited about the whales than me…!! 100% recommend.
